How big is your royal pleco and how long did it take to grow large? There is conflicting info on the net about maximum size. thanks

Just got one today, pretty interesting pleco.

My Royal is about 7-8" (I haven't taken a recent measurement). I've had it about a year (I forget...), and it was 6" when I got it. It'll get bigger, I assure you!

Mine is 6-7". Owned 2 years, bought at 5". The Shedd Aqua in Chi. has about a 12-14" one though and I imagine that it is full grown and very old. I think its almost as wide as it is long. Very large tank also, prolly 500g's +.
